once free

Do you know what it is
to be without

fear, sorrow,
deluded doubt?

Do you know what it is
to be truly free

from anger, hatred,
and misery?

Do you know what it is
to go within

where all is pure,
without sin?

Do you know what it is
to exist in peace

where all causes for unhappiness
have ceased?

Do you know what it is
to know your mind

limitless potential,
joyful, kind?

I have finally found
such instructions pure
as my name imputed,
an unmistaken cure

now to follow
this joyful path
it alone is happy,
clear, unmatched

who will join me?
may it be all
with equanimity, love,
we shall heed the call

and finally discover
Enlightenment unbound
dreamlike true existence,
once unknown, now found

Feeling Joyful

Here and now, I finally know
A result, born from
Past cause – a virtuous one – and
Present causes making future effects
Yes, this is the source of my

Happiness!

Good Fortune Poetry

All here, hear!

Never again will I get upset
          when a crazy person offends me

I live in a madhouse —
              why would I act outraged,
                              surprised?

No. I’m an inmate, too
                deluded & samsara-screwed

        But I’m not all here —
                   & neither are you

Mission Accomplished

I’m done with wishy-washy
done with undecided

Finished with fools
I’m ditching unreliables

I’m done with second chances
done with forgiving

Prove yourself now or get
on with your living

I can’t deal with backwash
won’t swallow minced words

I’m tired of dream fluff
save that bullshit for birds

You were spineless and weak
a watered down turd

No more namby-pamby
get gone from my life

I’m holding out for a hero
who’s holding out for me, wife

Your fickle vacillation
nearly drove me insane

And worse, you blame me,
as if I changed my name

I’m done with remembering
I just don’t have the time

You were too wishy-washy
Now thank god you’re not mine
